As if it weren't enough that we had the John Lewis Christmas advert drop today (and its accompanying gorgeous facts), Starbucks have released their new red cups designs for 2016.

The cups have been a seasonal staple since they launched in the US in 1997, but this year is the first year that the cups will feature designs submitted by customers.

Last December, Starbucks got customers to submit designs on Instagram, and followed up on their favourites.

Thirteen customer designs were selected from six countries to represent the spirit of holidays around the world, and will be showcased in Starbucks' 25,000+ stores in 75 coutries.

"People will be walking around the street in Shanghai, New York and London carrying these cups," said Dena Blevins, creative director, Starbucks Global Creative Studio. "We love that this year our customers' artistry can play a part in brightening someone's day."
